Rogan M: Prison Law

Prison Law

This book celebrates the life and legacy of one of Ireland's greatest ever jurists - Gerard Hogan. Across his career as an academic, Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and judge of the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Ireland, Gerard Hogan has had a profound influence on public law. He is widely regarded as Ireland's leading legal scholar, particularly in constitutional law, administrative law, and EU law. The volume in his honour focuses on the central role of courts in public law. It examines how courts shape constitutional systems, interpret legislation, hold public authorities accountable, and protect rights, while maintaining the balance between the executive, legislature, and citizens. Drawing on themes developed in his scholarship, opinions, and judgments, the book addresses issues such as judicial review, constitutional oversight, the rule of law, and the relationship between judicial independence, public confidence, democracy, and accountability. It also considers comparative and global perspectives on how courts perform these functions across different jurisdictions. Reflecting on Gerard Hogan's enduring contributions to debates on judicial review, separation of powers, fundamental rights, and judicial decision-making, the book serves as both a tribute and a lasting scholarly resource. At a time of ongoing constitutional challenges in Ireland and across Europe, it offers a timely reflection on the principles of public law that Gerard Hogan has shaped over several decades, both on and off the bench.

Liber Amicorum in Honour of Gerard Hogan

Public Law and the Centrality of Courts

This book examines intermediate appellate courts by using the Irish Court of Appeal as a case study.The operation and contribution of intermediate appellate courts are often overlooked in legal scholarship, which tends to focus on apex courts, most frequently national supreme courts. However, intermediate appellate courts perform a series of vital functions, including error prevention, the development of doctrine, and ensuring that apex courts are free to concentrate on issues of exceptional public importance. The significance of intermediate appellate courts has increased in recent decades in tandem with an increase in the volume and complexity of litigation in many countries.The Irish Court of Appeal was established in 2014 and this enables a number of dimensions of non-apex courts to be examined, including the rationales for, and challenges of, inserting such a court into an existing and well-established legal system. Institutional aspects of the court such as the appointment and promotion of its judges and its rules on dissent are analysed. The process of 'setting up court' is described. In addition, its contribution to some areas of substantive law over the first 10 years of its operation is evaluated. Interviews with judges who have served on the Court enrich the book's account of its operation and development. In addition, comparative perspectives from Northern Ireland and England and Wales enhance the analysis of an integral part of many legal systems.

The First Decade of an Intermediate Appellate Court

The Irish Court of Appeal

This book offers fresh perspectives on the role of addiction in prior fault culpability by integrating legal, psychological, neuroscientific and philosophical dimensions. Are intoxicated defendants responsible for harms they cause to persons and property when intoxicated? Should they be criminally liable for those harms, even if they act without intention or control? What if their intoxicated state is associated with addiction? Analysing the complex interactions between addiction, intoxication and law, prior fault is addressed from various jurisdictions including predominantly England and Wales, Scotland, and the Netherlands, while also incorporating multiple disciplines, thereby discussing prior fault structures from overarching, non-jurisdictional perspectives. These different disciplines and legal systems are not merely described but closely integrated through co-authored chapters, involving academics from different disciplinary fields and legal traditions. This collection is a thorough resource for students, academics, researchers, and practising lawyers who aim to deepen their understanding of the law's approach towards addiction and intoxication. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of a collaborative approach between different legal traditions and interdisciplinary scientific understanding, thereby laying the groundwork for future legal reforms, informed legal practice, and research.

Comparative Perspectives on Addiction and Intoxication

Criminal Law and Prior Fault

An original study of the UK's preventive hybrid orders, revealing how civil powers with criminal consequences target people as much as behaviour. A timely critique of how these powers disproportionately affect groups already subject to social disadvantage and intensive policing.

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Today's Crime and Punishment Issues

Judicial Review

From 1974 to 2003, New Orleans had one man serve as its district attorney: Harry Connick Sr. That same time span marked a period of sharply rising incarceration rates and changing opinions about law and order, both locally and nationally. Louisiana in particular eventually gained the reputation of being the country's most incarcerated state; New Orleans, as its biggest city, bore much of the responsibility for earning it that designation. Connick was known for his tough-on-crime approach to prosecution, forcefully employing old and new legal strategies to send droves of defendants to jail and prison, often for as long as possible. 	 	 	Connick was popular enough with voters to be re-elected four times, a long tenure that is particularly notable given the increase in Black political presence and power in New Orleans during that time. His multiple re-elections were evidence that enough of the city's Black voters supported his policies to keep him as DA, even when he faced spirited opposition from Black candidates who tried to show constituents how Connick had failed them. However, by the time of his retirement in 2003, Connick's reputation had begun to suffer as revelations of shocking prosecutorial misconduct in his office emerged. Over the past twenty years, those revelations have only increased in number and scope. Connick, now deceased, has left a fractured legacy whose reverberations continue to be felt in New Orleans. 	 	 	Susan Penman's Uncertain Justice shows what Connick's office was like during the decades he was in power: how it was situated politically, what steps it took to curb crime at a time when so many New Orleanians were concerned about violence, and what locals perceived about how it functioned—and in turn how they either supported or questioned Connick's policies. Penman demonstrates the vast influence a district attorney possesses and how that influence manifests locally through legislation, office practices, and political sway. Uncertain Justice sits at the nexus of carceral studies and history by exploring how one man, at the helm of a very powerful office, navigated shifting political currents and exercised immense authority throughout many crucial years.

Criminal Law and Procedure

Montgomery and Ormerod on Fraud

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. 

Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. 

It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. 

This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.
